Foreword
We, the staff of 1954, have compiled for you this edition of the HURRICANE. It is
your "memory book" which records the deeds of the students, who embody the spirit
of Marion High School. In the years to come this annual will keep olive the memories
gathered during your school days. The future years will bring new faces and changes
to the School scene, but there shall be this record of the friends we knew, the things
we did, and the memories that are still dear to us.
Presenting Our Theme
Alma Mater
Oh, never may thy sons and daughters bring thee
reproach and shame,
Before us as a flaming beacon that guides the wanderer
to shore.
Thou Marion dost lead us onward, our guide for
evermore.
Oh, Marion, the coming years will never dull our
love for thee.
The hours we spent within thy walls will live again
in memory.
The noise and tumult of the world, the bitter storm
and strife
Will lead our thoughts to high school days, the
sweetest time of life.
"Thou, Marion, dost lead us onwdrd, our guidf
for evermore../’

Special Recognition
We, the 1954 HURRICANE staff, take pride in giving this special recognition to
Mrs. Cornelia Anderson, who, in her quiet and unassuming manner, has inspired all
who know her not only to appreciate the culture of the past, but to possess a keener
interest in the things of the present. Because of her unselfish service and masterful
instruction, she will be long remembered by the students of Marion High School.
Dedication
In appreciation of his devoted interest in the students of Marion High School and
their activities as instructor and friend, we, the 1954 HURRICANE staff, sincerely
dedicate this edition of our yearbook to Mr. Charles K. Franzen.

Good leadership ability, high moral standards, and passing scholastic averages are
the qualities of representatives.
The Student Advisory Council consists of S.C.A. officers, publication heads, elected
homeroom representatives, club presidents, and S.C.A. sponsors, but all the students of
M.H.S. are members of the Student Co-operative Association.
During the year the S.C.A. sponsored a Southeast Assembly, sent seven delegates to
the Holston District Meeting in Galax, and one delegate to the State Convention in
Radford and carried on important business concerning the school.

"THE LIHLE SHEPHERD OF KINGDOM COME"
The senior class presented this three-act comedy drama April 12 and 13 in the Marion High Audi¬
torium.
The scene, laid in a section of the Kentucky mountains near Frankfort, took place in the living room of
the Buford home with thirteen characters, five boys and eight girls.
George Thompson played the leading role as Chad, "the little shepherd." Nathan Cherry, a hard
fisted, cruel mountaineer was portrayed by Paul Greer. Chad grew up with the Turner family and fell
in love with Melissy when a child. Barbara Barnett played the mountain girl Melissy. Glenda Stone as¬
sumed the role of Betsy Cherry the daughter of Nathan Cherry.
Major Calvin Buford, played by Clayborne Gwyn, picked Chad up and took him to live with him. The
Major's maiden sister. Miss Lucy Buford who was played by Jenny Jo Pruner, was very shocked to have
the presence of such an illiterate boy in her house.
Dale Dixon took the part of their Negro servant. Old Tom, while Connie Stephenson was their "eves-
dropping" house maid, Thanky.
Martha Buchanan portrayed the part of Mrs. Caroline Dean, a neighbor. Margaret Dean, her daugh¬
ter, was played by Ann Vernon, who was the leading character among the girls.
Robert Young was the sophisticated fiancee of Margaret, Richard Hunt and his sarcastic sister Nellie
Hunt was played by Willie Anne Pugh. Gale Martin took the part of Jennie Overstreet, a very romantic
poetess who "just loves men."
Mr. A. L. Mitchell and Mr. C. A. Wilkinson were the directors and Anne Eller was the student director.
Barbara Moore, Edwina Richardson, Mildred Robbins, and Libby Ann Thompson were prompters and
David Johnson was the stage manager.

Little Girl" os its annual play December 4 in the M. H. S. Auditorium at 8;00 p.m.
This delightful comedy in three acts, dramatized by Anne C. Martens presented the
problem of college sorority life in an amusing, sometimes satirical, yet completely
heart-warming way.
The cast consisted of Harriet Slemp as Elizabeth Ericson, the girl who goes away to
Midwestern University and is caught up in the excitement and rush of college sorority
life; Annette Ellis as Adelaide, Liz's friend from the west. Joan Query as Becky, the shy
girl from Liz's home town,- Mary Lou Haywood as Merry, president of the Queen's
Sorority; Margaret Davis as Dallas, the beauty of the group,- Donna Boone as' Marge,
good-natured rush chairman; Linda Broce as Casey, the intellectual; Patricia McCready
as Mrs. Bellows, and influential alumnae,- Peggy Jarrett as Mother Apple, the house
mother; Dwayne Little as Joe, Liz's steady boy friend,- Lester Hall as Chad, the prominent
fraternity man,- Bill Rouse as Sam, Dallas's heart interest; Jedd Copenhaver as an express
man. Libby McCarty, Nancy Dutton, Betty Dillman and Beverley Birchfield took roles
as Justine, Polly, Marilyn, and June, other sorority members,- and Doris Blevins, Coleen
Huggins, Patsy Campbell, and Martha Copenhaver took rolls as Thelma, Grace, Alice,
and Marie, other sorority pledges.
Sandra Groseclose and Hugh Severt were student director and stage manager re¬
spectively. Qther members of the Junior class served on committees. The play was
directed by Miss Pauline Anderson and Mr. Mack Sturgill.

. . . lies ahead in textiles. The world's oldest industry, textile manufacturing is today one of the most
exciting and challenging fields for young men and women embarking on a career. Revolutionary man-made
fibers, emerging from chemists' test tubes, have brought about progressive strides in textiles. A pioneer
in the field, Burlington Mills today ranks as one of the world's leading producers of fabrics from man-made
fibers.
From one plant with approximately 200 employee*, our company has grown to include 74 manufac¬
turing plants in 45 communities of ten states and three foreign countries. Employing 32,000 people, Bur¬
lington is today a recognized leader in the designing, development, research, merchandising and fashion
fields as well as manufacturing.
If you are a young man or woman looking for a place in industry, we think you should consider
textiles — and Burlington. It can hold a bright future for the person with the willingness to learn, ability
to work, and a natural interest in this fascinating and competitive field.
